AMD Ryzen 7 4700S
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700S is offered by AMD in a so-called desktop kit. This kit consists of the processor itself and a suitable mainboard on which the CPU sits in socket AM4. In addition, there is a soldered GDDR6 memory on the mainboard. This is remarkable in that AMD desktop CPUs can usually only be equipped with much slower DDR4 RAM.

The processor has 8 CPU cores clocked at 3.2 GHz. It also has a turbo mode and can increase the clock frequency to up to 4 GHz in single-core operation; 3.6 GHz are still possible when multiple CPU cores are loaded. Simultaneous Multithreading Technology (SMT) is supported and the AMD Ryzen 7 4700S can process up to 16 threads in parallel. It most closely resembles an AMD Ryzen 7 2700 or the AMD Ryzen 7 4700G, which however has an iGPU.

The AMD Ryzen 7 4700S Desktop Kit is said to use retired Playstation 5 Renoir processors, which rely on AMDs Renoir APU architecture. However, the strong, internal graphics (iGPU) is completely deactivated here. The mainboard has a PCIe 16x slot, which is only connected with four PCIe 2.0 lines and slows down stronger graphics cards. It is therefore only suitable for using smaller graphics cards.

AMD itself therefore only recommends smaller graphics cards such as an AMD Radeon RX550 to AMD Radeon RX 590 or an NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 up to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060.

The processors TDP is 65 watts, although it can also be configured to a TDP of 45 watts. At 8 MB, the level 3 cache is not particularly large and corresponds to the other AMD Renoir processors of this generation. The AMD Ryzen 7 4700S is manufactured in a 7 nm process.

• Zen 2 architecture and 7 nm manufacturing
